Chapter 15: Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Terracotta Warriors



Zhao Jun walked in cautiously and stood in a corner, ready to pretend to be invisible.

Suddenly Ying Zheng nodded at her and said

"Here I come"

Immediately afterwards, Li Si, who was speaking, nodded and greeted her.

Zhao Jun smiled without changing his expression, but he was a little nervous.

Why is Ying Zheng so easy to talk to today, and can she now listen to him and Li Si talk openly?

Well! We've reached another level. Come on, Zhao Jun!

"Your Majesty, the construction of your mausoleum has begun. According to the previous design drawings of Juzi, the outer construction is almost completed." Li Si said.

"Well, the construction of the mausoleum will take a long time. You can send someone to keep an eye on it. I can just send someone to check on it every year. Let's put this matter aside for now. Go and call Li Xin."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and let Li Si go out first. Before he left, he bowed to Zhao Jun as usual, but Zhao Jun did not notice him at this time. It should be said that since Li Si mentioned the mausoleum, Zhao Jun began to be dazed.

Isn’t Ying Zheng’s mausoleum the tomb of Qin Shi Huang in later generations? To put it more simply, it is the Terracotta Warriors!

She had visited the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an before, and she didn't expect to be able to see how the Terracotta Warriors were built now.

Even until thousands of years later, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang had not been developed. Only a small circle on the outside was excavated. It is said that there is a huge Milky Way made of mercury inside the mausoleum, which cannot be excavated at all. Therefore, what is inside the mausoleum has always been a mystery. I didn’t expect that it was a design drawing made by a great Mohist scholar.

"Mr. Zhao!" Suddenly there was a loud noise that deafened everyone.

The King of Zhao hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, and Ying Zheng glared at her.

"I called you several times, didn't you hear me?" Ying Zheng questioned her. She was so bold that she dared to be distracted under his nose!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was just thinking about something and didn't hear your voice for a while. Please calm down." Zhao Jun walked to the side of Ying Zheng with a smile on his face.

She can now understand Ying Zheng's temper. Even though he seems very angry now, he will not do anything to her at all. She just needs to coax him.

"Um, Your Majesty, I just heard from Li Si that you are building a mausoleum?"

Zhao Jun decided to ask around to satisfy his curiosity. By the way, he really wanted to see how magnificent the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was. There were so many terracotta warriors and horses just outside the area. What was it like inside?

"Yeah, what's the matter? Royal tombs are built decades in advance." Ying Zheng glanced at her sideways.

"It's nothing. I'm just curious. Besides building the Terracotta Warriors outside, what else are you planning to do inside? Is there really a river made of mercury?" Zhao Jun looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Jun thought that even if Ying Zheng didn't want to tell her, he would not blame her, but she didn't expect Ying Zheng to suddenly frown and stare at her.

"They were planning to use mercury to create a river, but terracotta warriors? What are those?"

"Terracotta Warriors? Aren't those the terracotta figures you had craftsmen make to resemble soldiers? Hundreds of thousands of them are said to be willing to continue guarding you even after death... huh?"

Zhao Jun said doubtfully, and suddenly...

Wait, Ying Zheng didn't know about the Terracotta Warriors?

"So that's how it is, Ms. Zhao. Your suggestion is very good and very much to my liking. I will have someone make it right away. Even after death, they will continue to protect me. Well said, haha!"

Ying Zheng suddenly realized it, and then thought it was a wonderful idea, so he gladly adopted it!

Wait, what is going on? Was it because of my suggestion that there were no Terracotta Warriors in Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum in the beginning?

No, no, no, Zhao Jun shook his head. My suggestion is at most to advance the production of the Terracotta Warriors. Even if I don’t mention it, Ying Zheng will think of making it in the future.

Yes, that must be it!

"Let's not talk about this, my king. How many treasures are you going to put in your tomb? Gold, silver and jade should be indispensable." Zhao Jun thought about it and felt that there must be a mountain of gold in his tomb.

"Not a single piece." Ying Zheng said lightly.

"Let's not talk about the fact that Qin doesn't have that much gold right now. Even if it did, it wouldn't be enough to cover the soldiers' military expenses. How could we get so much to put in the soil? We'll talk about it later."

Zhao Jun thought about it carefully and felt that it was true. Qin State was not very wealthy at the moment. He would probably have to wait until he unified the six states and developed the economy before he could have some private money of his own.

"Your Majesty, General Li Xin has arrived." A report came from outside the door, and Li Xin arrived.

Li Xin? The warrior with the long yellow hair and the greatsword?

No, no, you got it wrong.

The person outside the door came in. Zhao Jun did not move, but just stood there and looked at the person who came.

Li Xin looks to be about thirty years old, not too old, with some weathered features on his hands and face. However, his aura is not as great as Wang Jian's, but he is still one of the famous generals of the Qin State.

As soon as Li Xin came in and paid his respects to Ying Zheng, he kept looking at Zhao Jun who was standing beside him.

Who was this person? How could he stay in the front hall and stand there while the king was in a meeting?

Zhao Jun saw all his actions.

After all, they are still young, and their thoughts are written on their faces. Look at Li Si, he would not show it even if he had doubts in his heart.

Young people, it still doesn’t work.

"Li Xin, Wang Jian has led an army of 600,000 near the State of Wei. You will be his deputy general and help him destroy Wei." Ying Zheng sat above and looked at him calmly and said.

Is Ying Zheng planning to destroy Wei? That's right, according to the order, it's his turn, Zhao Jun thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yan has escaped. Didn't General Wang lead the troops back?" Li Xin asked.

Zhao Jun looked at him pitifully and cursed in his heart, this Li Xin is really brave but not wise, no wonder he is not as good as Meng Tian. I can think of this question, but he still asks it, he is really asking for trouble.

really

"Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't I know where Wang Jian has gone? I think you don't want to go." Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and scolded him in a very harsh tone.

By the time Li Xin finally accepted the order and left, he was already red in the face from being scolded by Ying Zheng.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile. I told you to ask more questions, why didn't you just obey orders from the beginning? Really.

"Isn't it funny, Ms. Zhao?"

Ying Zheng was in a good mood after scolding someone. He turned around and saw that the person next to him was in an even better mood and was even laughing out loud with joy.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I was laughing at Li Xin for being too stupid. He couldn't understand Your Majesty's meaning at all. He deserved to be scolded by Your Majesty. Your scolding was good, haha." Zhao Jun laughed and unconsciously gave Ying Zheng a thumbs up.

"Oh, so you understand what I mean."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

But Zhao Jun felt a chill in his heart.

"You know about Hu Hai, right?"

Hu Hai?

You are asking me about Hu Hai at this time?

Shouldn't we all tacitly agree not to mention this matter and just let it go with the wind?
